but the gst of their testimony can be put in a. few
words. There q discrepancy in the cash ac-
count OF $4,000. Simmons allowed the cash book
and transient ledger to remain in the burning build
ing, although all the other books were saved, but
memoranda of the bookkeeper made on the night
before the fire furnished proof of this deficiency.
When the bOOkkeeper read the memoranda, Simmons
for the first time in the examination lost his nerve.
1t was proved that Simmons came down stairs about
half an hour before the fire discovered that he
was seen to come from the room where the fire broke
out that hs was at the desk in the Office pais ana
agitated Just before the alarm given that ne ex-
pressed 40 surprise when warned OF the fire and did
nothing to extingush the flames. When appealed to
for help he said;
I'm done Pve nothing to do with it."
Smmonss counsel tried 10 show that the accused
was in the his sister n-law and in that of
guest just before the fire and that it physical
mpossbiity that he should have set the fire. but the
bell boy and night clerk disproved this and ther
testimony could not be shaken 1t was also proved
that Simmons made threats against the company
after he learned that he to be discharged Sim
mons received 5000 mouth, but kept fast horses,
made many costly presents ana lived beyond hls
means The witnesses showed dnimosity toward
him. and their testimony was not broken down in q
single instance by the vigorous cross-examination
Simmons preserved iaunty demeanof during the ex-
animation and was remanded TO custody as he could
bail.

TORY MAJORITY ON A DIVISION.
LONDON, April 2o.-1he House of Commons this
afternoon went into committee on the irish
Crimes Act Amendment bill. Il. NJ. Heaiy proposed
that the word "offeuce" in the act should be
changed to the word crime" Mr.. Dillon and Mr.
Bradlaugh supported the proposal.
Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland de-
clined on behalf OF the Government. TO accept the
change.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said it was
evident that the bill was not intended to
punish crime in Ireland, but was designed
for applying penalties by the resident magistrates
to new offences created by the bill.
Mr. Gladstone advised the Government to
concede Mr.. Healy's amendments The word
.offencen could not be held TO be strictly
synonomous with word crime in the bill III
the Government desired strictly legal use of the
measure they would accept accurate definitions.
A division was TAKEN and the amendment was
defeated by a vote of 157 to 12O.
DR.. Commins member for South Ros-
common, Liberal, moved that the
Crimes act should not be retrospective.
Mr. Healy, in supporting the motion, said he
would advise his countrymen TO refuse to answer
summonses under the clause if the act were made
retrospective.
The Attorney General and the Solicitor-General
both spoke in opposition to the amendment They
said the bill was only intended TO defeat and
punish crime.
Sir Henry James Niberal-UnionisD suggested
that words be inserted stating that inquiries into
past offences shall be limited of felony and
msdemeanor
Sir William Vernon Harcourt 1iberaD concratu-
lated the Government upon the assistance it was
receiving from of its principal supporters "The
Unionists are of some good at last" he exclaimed,
which remark was greeted with much laughter.
Lord Harrington will preside over meeting OF
the Liberal -Unionists called to assemble here
tomorrow to consider certain proposed
amendments to the Irish Crimes Act
Amendment bill. principal among which is one do
ing away with or greatly modifying the clause per-
mltting the Crown to change the venue to Eng
